The BB Glow treatment is fast becoming a very popular facial treatment here in Australia. It is also sometimes called the ÔÇ£Korean Glass Skin FacialÔÇØ as it originated in Korea and gives the skin a very clear and luminous glow that lasts for 2-8 weeks. BB Glow treatments have been performed in both Korea and Europe for many years and are generally deemed safe and suitable for even the most sensitive skins.
Basically, a BB glow treatment will help you achieve smooth, glowing flawless skin that looks like you have a snapchat filer on, in real life!
BB Glow is an effective way to get your skin to look the way you want it to look and reduce the need to apply foundation, BB cream or tinted moisturizer every day. Some promote that it is like getting a semi-permanent foundation, however my experience as an educator and BB Glow Professional has been that it is more like a tinted moisturiser/BB cream effect than foundation. It definitely reduces the need to wear foundation, but definitely doesn’t look like you’re wearing makeup 24/7. The results look incredibly natural, making it a fantastic solution for both men and women.
In fact, I actually LOVE this treatment for guys! It’s not as easy for men to cover up scarring and pigmentation, but that doesn’t mean they are happy about it! Because it looks so natural, the BB Glow treatment is ideal for men that want to look their best, with as little effort as possible.
But what actually IS IT?! Simply put, it is a facial that uses a mix of tinted & non-tinted cosmeceutical serums which are nano-needled into the skin, delivering deep hydration and powerful antiageing, wrinkle reduction and brightening results. The procedure is generally considered to be very safe, when performed by a trained professional. The BB Glow treatment is an intensive skin treatment that uses state-of-the-art nano-needling technology to penetrate only into the epidermal layer of the skin. This stimulates natural collagen production as well as ensuring that up to 97% of the serum is absorbed into the skin, whereas your daily skincare products absorb up to a maximum of only 5%!
Ultimately, a BB Glow treatment will give you a fresh, glowing no-makeup makeup look, and you walk out the door with glowing, radiant skin! As the serum is sitting in your skin and not on top like a BB cream would, it gives a very natural look. The makeup is undetectable because you are seeing it through the skin, if that makes sense.
Besides the obvious benefits of the procedure such as smooth, dewy, luminous skin, there are a variety of other benefits:
- Reduction in age spots
- Fading of acne scarring
- Brightening dark under-eye circles
- Skin brightening:
- The whitening serum features exclusive whitening technology that reduces pigmentation in the skin. Combined with the BB Serum tint & LED treatment, an overall reduction of pigmentation happens instantly and over time, with continued treatments, pigmentation continues to reduce.
- Reduction in fine lines and wrinkles
- Minimised appearance of pores
- Enhanced collagen production:
- Collagen is a natural protein found throughout the body. It helps to give structure, elasticity and vibrancy to your skin. Unfortunately, as we age, our body produces less collagen. This leads to wrinkles and a loss of skin elasticity and firmness. Nano-needling triggers the generation of new skin cells, collagen & elastin, and dermatologists have found that just a few sessions will noticeably reduce fine lines, crows feet, and deep wrinkles on the forehead.
There are a few online articles that pose questions and concerns with the BB Glow treatment. In general, the concerns centre around the ingredients used in the serums and the risk of the practitioner going beyond the epidermis, into the dermis. The ingredient concerns are related to things like mineral oil, artificial fragrances and parabens ÔÇô and that is absolutely correct! Those ingredients shouldnÔÇÖt even be in regular skincare, let alone something that is being needled into the skin! Our training course teaches you about the dangers of using sub-standard & fake products, and the importance of choosing safe, certified product, like Physiolab or Stayve, which are completely free from all of those nasty ingredients. We also recommend using the Missmito device, not a microneedling device like Dermapen or Dr Pen. The needles on the EXY MTS Nano-Cartridge are only 1mm long ÔÇô this means that you cannot accidently penetrate into the dermis, ensuring your clients have the optimal and consistent results, every time.
